how do I get rid of this pest??

[krugford]

Alright, this has gone on long enough! ONE of us is going to have to go in there and get it. So let me be the first to raise my hand and say.... ..NOT IT!


j/k Any luck with that thing?

I filled the hole up with water 2 weeks ago.

I thought everything was good..then thursday night the little fucker dug out every single hole again. Time for the leghold trap.

Ahhh; now he's really pissing you off. That's good- no quarter, no prisoners.

Dont get mad, get even

They make those smoke bomb type things that you light and then stick in the hole, just a thought.

You sure it's not a neighbor messing with you this time?

 

[skippy]

time to call a professional or animal control.

 

[rickcdewitt]

you know, maybe you should watch caddy shack for some ideas from bill murray.it might be hard to get some plastic explosives though.

 

[Hahnsb2]

New idea! Take a hose and hook it to your exhaust and run it to the hole, and fire your rig up and let it run for about an hour and gas that fucker dead.

I talked to an exterminater guy and he said this would be a bad idea do to in holes under a building, especially since one of the holes are inside.

I only talk to one of my neighbors, and I doubt the rest of them even know I have a shop, considering you can't see my house from the road.

the problem is, I don't think hes even in there all of the time, I filled the hole up with water and he didn't dig it out for 2 weeks!

My mom put moth balls in all of the holes and all around the shop, and I'm gonna borrow a leghold trap. So hopefully he'll either stay away or I'll catch it.

Ok ive got a friend in trapping. You can do a lot of different things... Best bait is prob Peanut Butter

1) leg hold trap. snaps down on there leg,, Put down in hole or by enterance(sp bad)


2) Haveahart live trap( or HaveAGoodShot), same ordeal.. Be carefull,, in ohio its illegal to let critters go any where you didnt catch them,, alive.

3) good ol' .22

4)30-06 lol

5)This goes with the car exhaust, On the intlet of an air compressor, (where it takes in new air) have a hose running from there into your exhaust. When you see him run in there.. or whenever board off all the other holes and dump the compressed Carbon Monoxide in there. I have heard of a lot of people doing this.

6) Got any Oxy-acetylene? lol fillup his hole.. YOu may not have a shop later though

z-man,cook the little critter some meat balls,laced w/poison or sominex,depending on what you plan to do with em.good luck,and happy hunting.

I recommend a lead-based spray.

My preference in lead-based sprays is called .22

when properly applied it will rid you of almost any varmint with as many
as eight legs to as few as two or none.

I have an old winchester model 67 which has a really long barrel.
with "standard" velocity 22LR ammo the sound of the shot doesn't
completely drown out the sound of the striker hitting the primer.
with subsonic ammo the striker falling actually sounds loud.

In either case it makes less noise than my expensive german air rifle.

The drawback is you have to sit and wait for the creature that annoys you.

Hell I just managed to kill a marauding mouse that was getting into
my supply of powerbars....

Hit him with a single pellet from my air rifle... DEAD!

I've never tried a 22 against a spider before, though I have killed a couple that could've used it!

I shot a big fat rat in the driveway yesterday with my .177 Sheridan pellet gun, got him right behind the eye and he dropped like a rock... Now my .17HMR would have literally ripped him in half...
